Summer Adult Session 1

Colaisde na Gàidhlig / The Gaelic College is with Missy Morrison-Christie.

What a fun day in St. Ann's! We love being the host location for the L'Arche Cape Breton Community Chowder Challenge, and this year, we jumped right in. Our very own Missy Morrison-Christie and her chowder Bròt-Éisg Missy was 1st runner up - we're some proud! Congrats to Clean Wave for taking top prize today, and our pals at the Lobster Galley for their second runner up prized recipe. Hope we can do it all over again next year. :)

We're so thrilled to welcome the versatile and oh-so humble Dave Gunning to KitchenFest! for the first time this year as he joins the songwriting lads around the circle. This is the only chance to see Dave during the festival, so don't miss out.

Dave Gunning is best defined as a master craftsman. Over the course of 23 years and 11 earlier albums, the Nova Scotian folk singer/songwriter has diligently sharpened his skills, developing into a poetic storyteller and emotionally convincing singer with few equals.

Last year, Dave Gunning and J.P. Cormier released a duo album, Two, one recently nominated for a 2019 East Coast Music Award. "It was just two guitars and two voices. We have played together on and off for 20 years so it is comfortable for us," explains Dave.

Along with richly-deserved peer respect, Dave Gunning has earned a shelf full of music industry honours. That tally currently stands at eight East Coast Music Awards and two Canadian Folk Music Awards, plus a 2012 Juno Award nomination in the Roots & Traditional Solo Album of the Year category for his album … a tribute to John Allan Cameron, a compelling homage to another of Dave’s Maritime musical heroes.

His songwriting skill has also been internationally recognized, with tunes scoring victories and high placings in major international songwriting competitions. As a fervent hockey fan, Dave was also thrilled to win the CBC’s hotly-contested Hockey Night In Canada Song Quest in 2014 with “A Game Goin’ On”, a co-write with David Francey. Gunning has also remained in demand as a producer working with many artists.

We're so amped up for what's sure to be an awesome summer ahead! Right after KitchenFest!, we jump into three weeks of youth programming, our workshop week, two adult sessions, and the Gaelic immersion week for kids.

If you haven't signed up already, now is the time! We're still accepting day students, and there's still a bit of room for our live-in option - for youth sessions 1 and 3, and our Gaelic immersion camp only. Send Kenneth a note with any questions (school@gaeliccollege.edu) or jump in and register now! #learnwithus
